HIS BIRTHDAY
Canton Rotary Club To Honor True
D. Marlowe On'Friday. . '
True D. Marlowe,, ma'nager of the
Western Union Telegraph company,
Canton, will have a birthday anniversary tomorrow, Thursday, Feb. 20. As
a mark of honor to . Undistinguished
Rotarian 'the members of the Canton
Rotary club, No. 146, will give him a
seat at the birthday table' on Friday,
ancl the head waiter will see that True
gets more than he can eat.
President William J. Morgan, Secretary Joseph M. Markley, Charles J.
Corey, Edward J. Landor and other
members of the club will furnish the
"bouquets," and every time True
blushes the gang will sing, "For He's
a Jolly Good Fellow," and "We Know
You're True, Because You're-True."
Right here The Sun takes the privilege of extending heartiest congratulations to, one of the best fellows in
or out of "Rotary. He assisted in organizing the Rotary club of North
Canton, and at every opportunity he
says not one but a dozen 'good words
for this town.
As a rule many parents hang a
name on a boy that causes him to
blush when he grows to manhood, but
in this case True's parents were possessed of second sight, for a truer
name than True for such a man could
not be found. It fits perfectly.
The Sun feels certain that the members of -the .North.:CantorWiRotaiiy .club
to .a man will be" with tKeff brother
Rotarians, in spirit if not in* the flesh
on Friday in Canton when they-honor
True D. Marlowe, a man ever ready
to answer a call when it means service to his fellowmen and the community. All who know him are the
better for the happy experience of
contact with so fine a spirit.

CONCERT STARS GIVE
A FINISHED PROGRAM
Carl Schoman, Carl Shields and
Louise Shem Wilcoxen Please
Numerous Audience With a
Recital Marked By Much Skill
and Unaffected Style.
WOMAN HAS WARM VOICE
The concert given by the music
committee of The Community Christian church on Sunday evening, Feb.
16, was well attended by an appreciative audience of No,rth Canton music
lovers. Such concerts should be repeated, or similar ones be given frequently. Many students of instrumental and vocal, music were in attendance, ancl the work of the artists was
educational in character as well as entertaining.
Carl .Schoman, whose work is favorably known in the vicinity of Canton, gave several organ numbers, and
accompanied the other two artists who
had part in the program.. It.is a compliment to any organist when his individual work is appreciated, but when
he accompanies as well as Mr. Schoman did Sunday evening he may be
marked as a true artist.
To mention any number played as
being the best would show a weakness
of the commentator for certain types
of composition. His full organ numbers were majestic; the light numbers
were handled with grace and ease.
Mrs. Wilcoxen Has Good1 Voice
"Ave Marie," a composition by
Bach-Gounod, in the estimation of this
writer, was the high spot of the evening. It was sung by Mrs. George Wilcoxen and accompanied by Messrs.
Shields and Schoman. Mrs. Wilcoxen's
lyric soprano voice had a very fine setting in this number.
Madame Galli-Curci complimented
this voice in a special audition, and
after hearing her Sunday evening one
could easily appreciate the interest
the diva had shown.
Other numbers sung by the soprano
were done artistically, without affectation. "Beautiful Isle of Somewhere"
brought favorable comments from the
entire audience.'"'' —-«-—;■---..•- '■■■• -,
Of special interest was Carl Shields' •
rendition of Goltermann's cello num-i
ber Cantilena. We feel that Mr.
Shields should be heard more frequently in North Canton. His poise
suggested complete command of his
instrument.

The meeting held February 17 was
in charge of second Vice-Commander
David Glass. The number attending
was hot up to our standard as thirty-
one of the men who attended the
Father and Son Banquet were Legion
members. A report on the play was
given and from early figures approximately $200 will be made. Thanks and
praise were given to the cast, director
and the^ committees. They deserve a
'lot of credit <and we feel sure that
Cleet Miesmer and his Drum Corps
can see their plans forming for the
State Convention at Cincinnati. We
will do our part in getting them there
and all they have to do is win the
honors.

high six men will represent the Le-
: gion at this Tournament. Fifty cents
, entrance fee will be charged and so
that all have a good time, blind prizes
"will be-(riven to those finishing below
six. This will give all a chance to
win something regardless of their
howling ability. These plans are ten
tative ancl will be worked out more
completely at a later date.
Junior Baseball Contest
A junior baseball program will be
organized with a representative team
from North Canton to take part in
the National Elimination Contest. A
man is needed to take charge of the
team who knows baseball thoroughly
ancl who can train the juniors into a

Service Officer Johns of Massillon
Post gave a graphic picture of what
service and .child welfare work means
to Legionnaires. His talk brought
home to us the responsibility that is
ahead of us and Service Officer Howard Warburton and his assistant John
Moye have started on a program to
make our records comnlete so that
this work can be carried on in an
orderly manner. Commander Marlowe
of Greentown Post and his Service
Officer attended the meeting to hear
Comrade Johns' message. |
Walling To Serve Public
For the people of our. community,
we w.ould like to make this impress
sion. American Legion Post 419 of
North Canton is not a closed organization when it comes to service ancl we
would like to be considered as YOUR
American Legion. If there is any ser-.
vice that can be rendered to the Community or to individuals, get in touch
with some of the members and lay
your plan before them. The Community has been more than willing to back
up Legion projects ancl they in turn
want it understood that they wish to
back all Community projects. It is
not an organization for the good of
service men only, but for the good of
the "Community, State and Nation."
The party that was to have been
given for the cast on February 26
will have to be held at a later date
owing to The Woman's club having a
card party that evening. The several
members of the cast will be notified
at a later date just when the party
will be held.
The recently instituted council of
the Junior Order of Mechanics in
Hartville is making rapid progress in
membership growth. Included in its
enrollment are some of the most
prominent citizens as well as many
of Hartville's active business men.
Forty-four new members were received and initiated in the order at
the last meeting.
The degree work was ably conferred by the Canton Council. The meeting was well attended, there being approximately one hundred ancl seventy-
five present. The Council was favored
by the presence of the State Councilor also by representatives from
various Councils from different parts
of the State.
Owen Shatzer of North Canton delivered a short address commemorating the life of Abraham Lincoln, and
recalling some of the wonderful
achievements of the great and noble
president. At the close of the meeting rfreshments were served. All details of the meeting were attended
with' much zeal and integrity ancl
every phase of the program was received in a spirited manner by the
audience.
The Hartville Council looks forward
to a favorable and progressive future.

BERT WILLIAMS, CHAIRMAN
If applause, enthusiasm, and promises to be "with you next year" are
to be taken at their face value then
the Father and Son banquet on Monday night was a decided success. According to the_official figuring 181 sat
down to dinner served by the ladies of
The Community Christian church, and
it kept their reputation as cooks up
to the highest standard.
The Hi-Y club of the Community

affair. -
Bert Williams, Chairman
Bert Williams, soil of the secretary
of the Community Building, was chairman of the meeting. Although a "kid"
in years, he acted the part of a veteran toastmaster, and introduced each
speaker with a line of chatter that
went over big with the crowd and secured much applause.
Boss Hoover Speaks
Chairman Williams gave W. H.
Hoover four minutes in which to address the audience. The Boss was in
royal good humor. He said ,it was a
long time since he was a boy, ancl he
was a good boy, because he could not
remember anything bad—very bad—
he had done in those early years.
He-said he loved boys, and while he
knew that boys caused fathers and
mothers to have many headaches and
heartaches still they were the most
valuable and precious things in the
world. He hoped the boys within
sound of his voice would some clay
realize their brightest and fondest
dreams.
"My wish is that we stay together a
long time. And, boys, I'm going to
stay with you as long as I see you
here," said Mr. Hoover as he sat down
Frank Mahtoh's Views
Frank Manton, red-headed and
hopeful leader of the boys in the Community Building, was the next speaker. He said that men in this community are taking things seriously,
especially the question of developing
boys. He was glad of their co-operation, ancl he knew the boys appreciated having the men behind, them.
He asked Highfield Johnson, president of the Rotary club; R. M. Bixler,

MASSILLON RESERVES
PLAY NCH, SATURDAY
By BEN LONG
AS DONE in North Canton by The
American Legion Players, "Adam
and Eva" is nn institution. Light
of touch, quick paced, stirring intelligent laughter rather than abdominal
guffaws, relying on wit, good taste
and the ability of the performers instead of ornate display, this amusing
piece all about an "unmarried father"
was acted with spirit and ably. Well
chaiacted comedy, smartened by
thrusts at the frivolous, selfish youngsters, ran smoothly from the opening-
curtain until the close of the third
act.
A Rose For Lloyd H. Taylor
Yet the real power of The American Legion Players is to be found not'
in the individuals, clever though each
proved to be, but in the' sum effect of
stage, procedure, and to Lloyd H. Taylor, who so ably directed, goes the
credit for this Splendid piece rof work.
As ever, he was unobtrusive, keeping
himself in the background, filling his
part capably but without effort to
shine, and eager at all times to keep
the performers first ancl foremost.
How well he succeeded is known to
all North Canton and its vicinity.
XXX
Story With a Moral
APART from its light! and generally
amusing character, "Adam and
Eva" carries a moral, ancl it does
not require spectacles to see the point.
A father, soft-hearted but true as
steel to his two daughters (one of
them married to a "society loafer")
permits himself to be wheedled into
paying enormous bills for clothes and
jewelry, arid to cap the climax he allows a grafting brother-in-law, with
an imaginary illness, and a sister-in-
law to impose upon his generosity.
It is the first of the month, and he
is at breakfast. His mail consists of
bills, bills, bills, contracted by his
two daughters and son-in-law. Naturally he loses his appetite, and he
threatens to give up his beautiful residence on Lonu' Island apd take theiiri

he had spent his boyhood.

ALARMED at the sudden turn of affairs, his daughter Eva (Marie
Bouchie) concocts a plot, in which
the others join, to send their father,
Mr. King (Bert White) on a long journey. Dr. Delamater (Cleet Miesmer),
in love with Eva, agrees to frighten
Mr. King. This he does in regular
professional style, throwing in sentences that made King believe he has
every disease in the world. Mr. King
calls his office and tells one of the

North Canton high school teams
were idle last Friday night but the
boys played at Salem on Saturday
night. The strangeness of the floor
bothered the North Canton team very
much during the first half, but they
got under way after the half rest period and made the game interesting
in the last half. North Canton missed
their chances to score from the field
and free throw line in the first half
not scoring at all. They missed five
chances from the free throw route.
With the opening of the second half
North Canton began to connect both
from the field and from the foul line
so that they somewhat redeemed
themselves for the poor scoring early
in the game. Their passing and general handling of the ball was splendid
but they could not make the points.
The final score was 31 to 18.
The Mogadore -game -scheduled for
Friday night, February 21, had to be
postponed but an effort will be made
to fill in this date so that the high
school teams can keep in playing
shape.
Massillon Reserves will be here Saturday night.

Zengler).
White waiting for Adam, Mr. King
is surprised to see his brother-in-law,
Uncle Horace (William Evans, father
of Miss June Evans) approach the
table and tell him that the doctor put

KING grimly decides to take drastic
action and the timely arrival of
his manager helps him to put it
into force. Adam describes the lonely
existence in the wilds of South America and how thrilled he was when he
approached Mr. King's house and saw
his employer's children, Eva, Mr. ancl
Mrs. DeWitt (Robert Dice and Leota
LeBeau), ancl Aunt Abby, sister-in-
law of Mr. King (Eugenie Chevraux)
sitting on the porch. Then Adam goes
into a poetical account of the beauty
of a home with a devoted wife and
loving, happy children
tions in model building, actual work
of model building, flying of models
and trouble shooting on balky airplanes. The officials of the Community Building have graciously consented to the use of the gymnasium for
the flying of indoor models, of course
when the floor: is not being used for-
some other activity. This is an ideal
room for the flying of these models-
Materials are purchased by the club
in quantity at a discount and are distributed to club members at actual
cost which allows for great savings;
over individual purchases. For example, enough material has been ordered
for 20 members to each make an actual self-propelled flying model for
the group price of less than ?6.00 for
20 models, or about 30 cents a model.
This includes an amount of extra material to take care of repairs, spoiled
work, etc., and enough special glues,.
dopes, wire, wing covering, etc to
make many more models.
Four things are necessary for the
success of a model aircraft club. These
are: organization, membership, operation ancl incentive.

Walling To Serve Public
For the people of our. community,
we w.ould like to make this impress
sion. American Legion Post 419 of
North Canton is not a closed organization when it comes to service ancl we
would like to be considered as YOUR
American Legion. If there is any ser-.
vice that can be rendered to the Community or to individuals, get in touch
with some of the members and lay
your plan before them. The Community has been more than willing to back
up Legion projects ancl they in turn
want it understood that they wish to
back all Community projects. It is
not an organization for the good of
service men only, but for the good of
the "Community, State and Nation."
The party that was to have been
given for the cast on February 26
will have to be held at a later date
owing to The Woman's club having a
card party that evening. The several
members of the cast will be notified
at a later date just when the party
will be held.
The recently instituted council of
the Junior Order of Mechanics in
Hartville is making rapid progress in

the last meeting.
The degree work was ably conferred by the Canton Council. The meeting was well attended, there being approximately one hundred ancl seventy-
five present. The Council was favored
by the presence of the State Councilor also by representatives from
various Councils from different parts
of the State.
Owen Shatzer of North Canton delivered a short address commemorating the life of Abraham Lincoln, and
recalling some of the wonderful
achievements of the great and noble
president. At the close of the meeting rfreshments were served. All details of the meeting were attended
with' much zeal and integrity ancl
every phase of the program was received in a spirited manner by the
audience.
The Hartville Council looks forward
to a favorable and progressive future.

and
BERT WILLIAMS, CHAIRMAN
If applause, enthusiasm, and promises to be "with you next year" are
to be taken at their face value then
the Father and Son banquet on Monday night was a decided success. According to the_official figuring 181 sat
down to dinner served by the ladies of
The Community Christian church, and
it kept their reputation as cooks up
to the highest standard.
The Hi-Y club of the Community

affair. -
Bert Williams, Chairman
Bert Williams, soil of the secretary
of the Community Building, was chairman of the meeting. Although a "kid"
in years, he acted the part of a veteran toastmaster, and introduced each
speaker with a line of chatter that
went over big with the crowd and secured much applause.
Boss Hoover Speaks
Chairman Williams gave W. H.
Hoover four minutes in which to address the audience. The Boss was in
royal good humor. He said ,it was a
long time since he was a boy, ancl he
was a good boy, because he could not
remember anything bad—very bad—
he had done in those early years.
He-said he loved boys, and while he
knew that boys caused fathers and
mothers to have many headaches and
heartaches still they were the most
valuable and precious things in the
world. He hoped the boys within
sound of his voice would some clay
realize their brightest and fondest
dreams.
"My wish is that we stay together a
long time. And, boys, I'm going to
stay with you as long as I see you
here," said Mr. Hoover as he sat down
Frank Mahtoh's Views
Frank Manton, red-headed and
hopeful leader of the boys in the Community Building, was the next speaker. He said that men in this community are taking things seriously,
especially the question of developing
boys. He was glad of their co-operation, ancl he knew the boys appreciated having the men behind, them.
He asked Highfield Johnson, president of the Rotary club; R. M. Bixler,

MASSILLON RESERVES
PLAY NCH, SATURDAY
By BEN LONG
AS DONE in North Canton by The
American Legion Players, "Adam
and Eva" is nn institution. Light
of touch, quick paced, stirring intelligent laughter rather than abdominal
guffaws, relying on wit, good taste
and the ability of the performers instead of ornate display, this amusing
piece all about an "unmarried father"
was acted with spirit and ably. Well
chaiacted comedy, smartened by
thrusts at the frivolous, selfish youngsters, ran smoothly from the opening-
curtain until the close of the third
act.
A Rose For Lloyd H. Taylor
Yet the real power of The American Legion Players is to be found not'
in the individuals, clever though each
proved to be, but in the' sum effect of
stage, procedure, and to Lloyd H. Taylor, who so ably directed, goes the
credit for this Splendid piece rof work.
As ever, he was unobtrusive, keeping
himself in the background, filling his
part capably but without effort to
shine, and eager at all times to keep
the performers first ancl foremost.
How well he succeeded is known to
all North Canton and its vicinity.
XXX
Story With a Moral
APART from its light! and generally
amusing character, "Adam and
Eva" carries a moral, ancl it does
not require spectacles to see the point.
A father, soft-hearted but true as
steel to his two daughters (one of
them married to a "society loafer")
permits himself to be wheedled into
paying enormous bills for clothes and
jewelry, arid to cap the climax he allows a grafting brother-in-law, with
an imaginary illness, and a sister-in-
law to impose upon his generosity.
It is the first of the month, and he
is at breakfast. His mail consists of
bills, bills, bills, contracted by his
two daughters and son-in-law. Naturally he loses his appetite, and he
threatens to give up his beautiful residence on Lonu' Island apd take theiiri

he had spent his boyhood.

ALARMED at the sudden turn of affairs, his daughter Eva (Marie
Bouchie) concocts a plot, in which
the others join, to send their father,
Mr. King (Bert White) on a long journey. Dr. Delamater (Cleet Miesmer),
in love with Eva, agrees to frighten
Mr. King. This he does in regular
professional style, throwing in sentences that made King believe he has
every disease in the world. Mr. King
calls his office and tells one of the

North Canton high school teams
were idle last Friday night but the
boys played at Salem on Saturday
night. The strangeness of the floor
bothered the North Canton team very
much during the first half, but they
got under way after the half rest period and made the game interesting
in the last half. North Canton missed
their chances to score from the field
and free throw line in the first half
not scoring at all. They missed five
chances from the free throw route.
With the opening of the second half
North Canton began to connect both
from the field and from the foul line
so that they somewhat redeemed
themselves for the poor scoring early
in the game. Their passing and general handling of the ball was splendid
but they could not make the points.
The final score was 31 to 18.
The Mogadore -game -scheduled for
Friday night, February 21, had to be
postponed but an effort will be made
to fill in this date so that the high
school teams can keep in playing

KING grimly decides to take drastic
action and the timely arrival of
his manager helps him to put it
into force. Adam describes the lonely
existence in the wilds of South America and how thrilled he was when he
approached Mr. King's house and saw
his employer's children, Eva, Mr. ancl
Mrs. DeWitt (Robert Dice and Leota
LeBeau), ancl Aunt Abby, sister-in-
law of Mr. King (Eugenie Chevraux)
sitting on the porch. Then Adam goes
into a poetical account of the beauty

loving, happy children
tions in model building, actual work
of model building, flying of models
and trouble shooting on balky airplanes. The officials of the Community Building have graciously consented to the use of the gymnasium for
the flying of indoor models, of course
when the floor: is not being used for-
some other activity. This is an ideal
room for the flying of these models-
Materials are purchased by the club
in quantity at a discount and are distributed to club members at actual
cost which allows for great savings;
over individual purchases. For example, enough material has been ordered
for 20 members to each make an actual self-propelled flying model for
the group price of less than ?6.00 for
20 models, or about 30 cents a model.
This includes an amount of extra material to take care of repairs, spoiled
work, etc., and enough special glues,.
dopes, wire, wing covering, etc to
make many more models.
Four things are necessary for the
success of a model aircraft club. These
are: organization, membership, operation ancl incentive.
